F. Ing customers

[buckley plumb]

been there posted on here I think the other year - I isolated my mates glowworm compact in his rented house - I went to visit him and could smell burning had a quick look and noticed the fan was sticking and the cables from the transformer burning. isolated and turned it off - got nasty call from his landlord saying they had had another engineer and I had sabotaged the boiler and he has fixed it and they were reporting me . I was scared so called gas safe and they said don't worry they have to prove it was me . I returned to my mates and had a quick look as he was worried to find someone had shoerted the safety devises and the boiler was running very hot scorching the case .I called the landlord saying I am at my mates house and it was duty as an engineer to isolate the boiler as it was dangerous and they could call the police or gas safe as I have acted in safety and if they are called they will ask who shorted the safety devises - I never heard another think don't think the guy who come out was gas safe registered - hope it goes ok . I have to admit gas safe did put my mind at rest and said they would file that I called

There are people in the world who are users. These types and those the others mentioned are users. Their children will be users and they will spawn users. They will make decent working people scared for their livelihoods. As you go on you will get better at spotting them...........in the mean time don't take it personally. Most customers are OK. I had one like this a while ago and it gave our business a better focus after some thought and reflection.

Have just read the thread from start to finnish, must say it is worrying to think the lengths some people will go too.

I had a call once from a custard asking if i had liability insurance even before the job was discussed or seen! I said yes and goodbye.

As an antidote to scumbag customers,I have had 4 tips of £10/20 in the last 6 weeks,seemingly for making contact,booking a time,keeping to it and doing the job.All small jobs .I look forward to referrals who will probably be nice customers.Latest one was an elderly gent who had recently lost his wife.He seemed to enjoy the company and was interested in what I was doing without hovering.Sometimes the job is a good one.

I can't believe this! Some people really do live on another planet. I'd ignore it. Gas safe wont be interested and there's insufficient evidence for trading standards to get involved. Send them a dog turd as a token gesture.

Why do people say send a dog turd? Send your own turd to put a personal touch on it. Eat corn a day prior for the marbled affect

I would LOVE someone to try this on me. Love it. It would be a great excuse to bring out my nasty-side I keep locked up.
I'd be waiting outside in the dark for those and scare them so much they'd be waddling back to their boiler soaked
